Because v1 x v2 + v2 x (-v1) = v1 x v2 - v2 x v1 = v1 x v2 - v1 x v2 = 0, vector (v1,v2) is orthogonal to (v2,-v1);
Let (a,b) be an unit vector orthogonal to (9,40);
So, a^2 + b^2 = 1 and a x 9 + b x 40 = 0;
Then, a = - 40 x b / 9;
Finally, 160 x b^2 / 81 + b^2 = 1;
160 x b^2 + 81 x b^2 = 81;
241 x b^2 = 81;
b^2 = 81 / 241;
b = + or - 9/\sqrt{241}
a = + or - 40/\sqrt{241}
We have (+40/\sqrt{241};9/\sqrt{241}) and (-40/\sqrt{241};-9/\sqrt{241});

Answer:

\hat{u_1}=(\frac{40}{41},-\frac{9}{40}) and \hat{u_2}=(\frac{-40}{41},\frac{9}{41})

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that v=(v_1,v_2) be a vector in R^2.

We have to show that (v_2,-v_1) is orthogonal to v.We have to find the two unit vector orthogonal to the given vector v=(9,40).

Orthogonal vectors:If two vectors u and v are orthogonal then

u\cdot v=u_1v_2+u_2v_1=0

Using this condition

(v_1,v_2)\cdot (v_2,-v_1)

=v_1v_2-v_2v_1=0

Hence, (v_2,-v_1) is orthogonal to v.

By using this fact then, we get

u_1=(40,-9) is orthogonal to v=(9,40)

Unit vector=\frac{\vec{a}}{\mid a\mid}

\mid u_1\mid=\sqrt{(40)^2+(-9)^2}=41

\hat{u_1}=(\frac{40}{41},-\frac{9}{40})

u_2=(-40,9) is orthogonal to v=(9,40)

\mid u_2\mid=\sqrt{(-40)^2+9^2}=41

\hat{u_2}=(\frac{-40}{41},\frac{9}{41})

The two unit vectors which are orthogonal to given vector v=(9,40) are given by

\hat{u_1}=(\frac{40}{41},-\frac{9}{40}) and \hat{u_2}=(\frac{-40}{41},\frac{9}{41})
